OPQS have put in a very good TTT performance, teams like Tinkoff and Sky are 24 seconds behind, can Contador, Porte still catch up with the OPQS riders?

If we get to Romandie and he still isn't showing much in the way of form, at that point I would agree his season would be for the most part gone for him.

peloton said:Kwia has this, the podium order will be interesting.
Jelantik said:do you think 24 seconds is enough to fend of quintana and contador in the mountain though?
ianstannard said:I think that Kwia and Uran might have a hard time as they don't have any real support. Sky at least has Nieve and Wiggins to support Porte

I am trying to find reasons not to dislike Cavendish so much. But it is getting worse.Dazed and Confused said:Pathetic development.
